Back at Work

The flight home last night was very uneventful. (Before the flight was really good though. I won $55 playing a slot machine in the airport.) I flew on Air Canada Rouge. This is a new branch of Air Canada. The flight crew were all very young and very pleasant. The planes do not have TV screens in the back of the seats like Air Canada has. Before you fly you need to download the Air Canada app on your iPad. Once you are allowed to use electronic devices the app works and you can choose from many different movies and TV shows.


I came to work this morning to find a surprise from Cathy and Kim. They tidied (okay, did a major overhaul) behind the cash desk. Do you have that drawer in your kitchen or a closet where you open it and just throw things in? That's what it was looking like back here. Now there is room to walk.

And look what they found. 
Lots of Pearl from Lorna's Laces.

200m (220 yards) on a 100gram skein.
51% silk
49% bamboo
20 stitches = 4" on 4.5mm needles

I was so excited about finding it that it's already been added to the website. The silk and bamboo add an amazing shine to the yarn.

I did a search on Ravelry and found some pattern suggestions

Edge is growing. It was the perfect plane knitting. Not much thinking and an easy to memorize pattern.
Mr. Roko was very happy to see me last night. He's doing pretty good. Ask him if he wants a cookie and he can move pretty quickly.
